CEFL14 - Mold Odor Abatement (14 hours) Onsite #0000332 Online LIVE #0000384

NORMI™ introduces this 14 hour course built around how to eliminate and manage malodors. During the remediation process and after, odors can be problematic for much of the population so understanding where these odors come from and how to eliminate them with current technologies is a must.

I've attended my fair share of educational classes and certifications, including several odor removal courses/certifications. I've come to expect a basic learning experience with the instructor(s) freely telling war stories of situations they've encountered and resolved...with little education and/or insider knowledge as to how and the science behind it. Most instructors are happy to boast throughout the class, but rarely shared any insider knowledge and the actual methods used. The educational material is usually dry, down-right boring, and so scripted that the presentation slides feel like nothing more than a read-along offering as the instructor reads them to the class attendees. In short, very little "real" content, a limited learning experience, and "good enough" to pass the certification test. It's sad, but true. However I was quite pleased, thrilled would be a better description, with Louis Adams' Odor Abatement Specialist certification class! Louis is not the usual instructor, and I mean that in a very complimentary manner! Louis actually shares his knowledge, keeps the attendees engaged, shares his insider secrets and somehow manages to cover all the material without once just reading presentation slides to us! I'm proud to say I actually learned quite a bit from this class! Did he touch on war stories? Yes, but not to brag...but to actually educate us. He shared not only the odor issues he worked on, but he actually shared HOW he resolved it. He gave us many tips, willingly shared the "secrets" of the trade and covered all the course material in a fun and engaging way! This was one of the few classes I ever attended where I felt the instructor was truly engaged and excited to teach the subject matter. Louis even shared his contact information....and he actually responds in a post-class environment! I really believe he's more than an instructor; he's a mentor! You want to really learn about odor abatement? Attend Louis Adams' class....the man is a true expert in the odor abatement field! The price paid for Louis' knowledge is a bargain!

CEFL20 - Certified Mold Remediation for Sensitized Individual (14hr) Onsite #0000412 Online LIVE #0000417

This course is designed to train remediation and assessment contractors on the special techniques and protocols that should be used when dealing with sensitized individuals. Although substantial progress has been made in the last two decades in developing appropriate procedures, industry guidelines, and even regulations regarding mold remediation; most of those efforts have been directed toward remediation that produces an environment that is safe for typical occupants. However, experience has shown that such "standard" remediation projects, even when done in full compliance with the current industry standard of care, often are not enough to create a safe environment for individuals who have become sensitized to mold.
